accompanied by thunder and light

inches of water. The river rose rapidly
and inundated the streets near the

houses and seek safety in some other
part of the city. A portion of the
Downey Avenue bridge was carried
away. Little other damage was done
in the city. Washouts occurred be-

Until yesterday. the trains came

Hon. Daniel Manning, Secretary Of the
Treasury:
Ny Dear .Sir-Your formal letter Of

official relations, and causes me the
deepest regret. This is tempered only

continue. refer to these because such
friendly relations supply, after all,
whatever of comfort and pleasure the
world affords, and because feel it
TO BE ALMOST sUPERFLUoUs
to speak of the aid and support you
have given me, and the assistance you
have furnished to the administration of

surrender. Your labors, your achieve
ments, your success, your devotion to
public duty, are fully seen and known,
and they challenge the appreciation and
gratitude of all your countrymen.
Since 1 must, at least, relinquish
my hope of your continuance
at my side as counsellor and
co-laborer, and since | cannot question
the reasons upon which your request
to be relieved is based, it only remains
for me to accept the resignation you
have rendered, and to express my pro
found thanks for all that you have
done for me in sharing manfully ny
labors and perplexities of the past two
years. ~.

from the vexatious laborS which you
have so justly earned.1
With the earnest hope that II the
new path of life you may hereafter fUl-

of comfort and of ease than con
scitntious discharge of duty permits,

Very sincerely, your friend,

The Philade1phia Election.

Great interest was manifested in the
municipal election here to-day. The
officials chosen will enter upon their
duties under the new law known as the
BuIlitt bill, which provides sweeping
changes in tie various departments of
the city. The Democrats experienced
considerable difficulty in completing
their ticket. Their first nominees de-
clined. The party finally nominated
tor mayor D. B. Keim, who three
years ago was elected sheriff on
the Republican ticket; Charles
Benton, for receiver of taxes, and
G. W. Arundel for city solicitor. The
Republican ticket is Edwin II. Filter for
mayor, Henry Clay for receiver of
taxes, and Charles F. Warwick (the
present incumbent) for city solicitor.
Neither ticket was entirely satisfac-
tory, and the papers were not favorable
